Regular USB hubs come with a few ports only, which are probably insufficient for some geeks who have nearly a dozen of USB gadgets on the work desk. Connecting more than one USB hub to your computer to accommodate all your gadgets might make your desk a little messy. But with this 10-port USB hub, it should be enough to hold what you have.
Unfortunately, the USB ports on this 10-port USB hub are too close, which do not provide much space to hold some fat USB gadgets. If you have a couple of those come in weird shapes such as the mooncake USB drive, alien USB drive, you’ll face little problem to plug all them into the 10-port hub as they will need more space between ports.
There is also one worth-mentioning eco-feature of this 10-port hub i.e. the ability to selectively turn on and off for ports from 1-6 and 7-10. So you can make use of the 1-6 ports to connect to PC-centric devices and the 7-10 ports connected to other gadgets such as digital camera, PMP, cellphone chargers etc. This feature eliminates vampire power wasted when your computer is off. The 10-port hub is only meant for Japan, costs 4,980 Yen.
